Hello
Do you have a cafe in your academic library? Can you share your experiences?
We are planning to open a cafe in the 'social learning' area of our library and would be very interested in hearing about other similar ventures, what works and what doesn't.
Any advice would be welcomed
thanks
Sheila

Journal Development
Wednesday 30 November 2011, Oxford
Delegate comments:
'Excellent well paced. It was reassuring to have a course which looked
at the attainable targets which can be achieved to lead to journal
development as opposed to being told wishy washy generic statements.
Really taught me a lot of transferable skills for my journals.'
Charlotte Wray, The Royal Society
'Well-rounded and focussed and appropriate for my current role.
Information prior to the course was well-timed and suitable. Course
handouts were excellent with a lot of room for notes.'
Ryan Kidd, Taylor & Francis
'This is probably one of the most useful courses I have done -
excellent! I started off with almost no ideas for journal development
and now I feel confident that I can come up with an action plan.' Susan
Molony, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
'It has given me great ideas for journal development and lots of
possibilities to implement - really useful.' Dail Maudsley, Earthscan
'I thought the course was useful and it was good to meet other
publishers. The course was very "interactive" which I liked. It meant
I could not "switch off" and kept things interesting.' Clare
Hooper, Liverpool University Press
Overview:
This course examines development strategies for individual journals. By
providing a solid overview of the publishing world and considering
current and future market trends, it will enable delegates to position
their journal within this context. The course is also an excellent
opportunity for delegates to meet and exchange experiences.
Programme:
. Why develop journals?
. Publishing and market trends - what are the issues which concern
publishers, librarians, intermediaries and end users?
. What is happening in a journal's world and what are the possible
development areas?
. SWOT analysis and development planning
. Financial development of a journal
. Options for list and portfolio development
Learning objectives - by the end of the course delegates will be able
to:
Identify reasons and techniques for creating an effective journal
development strategy; have gained a broad overview of market trends
affecting a journal's development; be able to use SWOT analysis to aid
effective development planning; be able to consider ways in which to
implement development strategies; and have gained hands-on experience
through the use of real-life practical examples and scenario planning.
Who should attend:
This course is aimed at those responsible for managing and developing
one or more journals: e.g. publishing editors and managers and managing
editors. Participants should have at least 2-3 years' experience of
managing journals. Please note this course is not suitable for those new
to publishing as some experience and knowledge of the industry is
required.
